Two of the all-time great car-chase epics of the 1970’s are about to race back onto DVD thanks to the good folks at Shout! Factory.  Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry is being paired with Race With The Devil on a Peter Fonda-centric two-for-one disc that will be hit­ting the stores in April.  The first film is a great “anti­heroes ver­sus the cops” flick star­ring Peter Fonda, Susan George and Vic Morrow while the sec­ond pairs Fonda with Warren oates as it cross­breeds the car-chase flick with 1970’s-style Satanic hor­ror to cre­ate a very dis­tinc­tive hybrid.  Read on for all asphalt-scorching details…

April 12 — Dirty Mary Crazy Larry/Race With The Devil

Larry (Peter Fonda) is a for­mer NASCAR racer look­ing to score some quick cash. Mary (Susan George) is a sexy groupie aching to take a fast ride. Together with mechanic Deke (Adam Roarke), they pull off a cold-blooded super­mar­ket heist and hit the high­way in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Now there is a mani­a­cal law­man (Vic Morrow) on their trail, an entire police force in pur­suit and hun­dreds of miles of road­blocks between their ’69 Charger and free­dom. Buckle up for the action clas­sic that blows the doors off all other car chase films as it speeds toward one of the most jaw-dropping finales in movie his­tory. Directed by John Hough (The Legend Of Hell House, The Incubus).

For old friends Roger (Fonda) and Frank (Warren Oates) and their wives (Lara Parker, Loretta Swit), it was sup­posed to be “the best damn vaca­tion they ever had.” But their RV road trip takes a deadly detour at a secluded camp­site when they acci­den­tally wit­ness a satanic sac­ri­fice in Race With The Devil. Now hor­ror hits the high­way as the cou­ples are pur­sued by satanic cultists through some of the most intense car chases and into one of the great­est twist end­ings in drive-in movie his­tory. Directed by Jack Starrett (The Losers, Cleopatra Jones), who was also an actor and played the mem­o­rable role of the vicious Deputy Galt in First Blood.
